Business criminals hiding behind God: the Vatican bank

So Pope Francis today has decreed that the Vatican's internal watchdog,
the Financial Information Authority (FIA), will have increased powers of
supervision over the Vatican bank and other Holy See departments involved in financial
activities.This is like having the
wolves watch the sheep.

There have been so
many instances of money laundering by the Vatican and other suspicious
financial activities that self-policing is not the answer.

In 2010 the
Christian Science Monitor investigated vatican money laundering. An American
archbishop, paul marcinkus who was head of the bank then was charged as an
accessory to fraudulent bankruptcy following the disappearance of $1.3 billion
in loans to be given to institutions in South America. Money just disappears
and they don’t have to open their accounting books to anyone.

Marcinkus was linked to another disappearance.The Huffington Post, (4/14/12) reported on the unsolved case of Emanuela
Orlandi who disappeared in 1983. Her father was a lay employee of the holy see.
An anonymous caller told police that Emanuela was
kidnapped on orders from Marcinkus, to keep her father Ercole Orlandi
quiet. It was thought that her body
would be found in a church tomb but when it was opened but it wasn’t although a
mobster was buried there (another blog topic to come). Ercole had stumbled upon
sensitive documents that tied banker Roberto Calvi(later found hanged in 1982) to an organized crime syndicate.

Marcinkus was also
indicted as an accessory in the $3.5-billion collapse of the vatican
bank’s associated Banco Ambrosiano, Italy’s
largest private bank, which was used
to launder drug money for the Sicilia mafia while the holy see was the main shareholder.Banco Ambrosiano’s head, Roberto Calvi, had close ties with
the holy see (the pope and his entourage) and was called “God’s Banker.”Calvi’s murderer was never found.Marcinkus avoided trial because of diplomatic immunity.

Money laundering,
murder and kidnapping.This is only one
example. There are so many more examples that I will have to continue them on
the next blog.

About Me

When I was three and a half years old, I and my five year
old brother Frankie were raped by a catholic priest and put in St. Agnes Home and School in Sparkill, NY. I was beaten every day and then smothered by a catholic
nun. I didn't die but I was in a coma for almost year, leaving me brain damaged. After we got out, my
brother killed himself because he couldn't help me or accept the abuse we received. I want everyone to know
about the brutality and crime then and still going on in the catholic church. I want to stop
the crimes the church commits against our children and us and get justice for the victims. Give me your ideas
so that we all succeed in making this world safer for our children.
